Wooting wrist rest
Note: Concrete gray will not be back in stock. It was too difficult to produce in large quantities.
Did you know you have to float your hands while typing? Nope, that's because you often use WASD, ASDF or ESDF and have a "gamer-style" typing habit.
Your fingers are ready for instant action and constantly tensed. Your mechanical keyboard is uncomfortably tall and your wrists are aching on the table. You take quick moments to shake your hands and curl your fingers.
Sounds familiar? It's time you invest in a wrist rest.

FAQ
Ergonomic design
The Wooting wrist rest elevates your hand palms to relieve stress on your finger tendons. This helps prevent early hand fatigue and long-term injuries after repetitive gaming, typing or work sessions.The design follows your mechanical keyboard’s ergonomic angle for an edgeless feel and breathing space for your wrists' carpal tunnel. If you’ve never used a wrist rest before, you’ll notice an immediate difference without going through an adjustment period.
Promote Good Posture
The material is a balance between a soft feeling and a firm surface. It promotes good posture by not providing too much cushioning when using bad posture.Bad posture will place too much weight on your wrists which compresses your carpal tunnel (blood vessels and nerves tunnel). Too much cushioning might temporarily relieve your immediate pain but it will worsen the underlying issue with its increased compression.
Quality Material
The entire wrist rest is made of high quality silicone. Silicone is hygienic, hypoallergenic, and BPA free. This means it’s skin-friendly, prevents nasty white stains and bacteria nesting inside causing a smell, skin irritation or allergies.You can easily wash the wrist rest under running tap water or a damp cloth. You won’t need to use any chemicals, take extra precautions or even a washing machine. Plain water will be more than sufficient to clean it in an instant. It’s waterproof.
That’s why it’s often found in the kitchen, medical field, and child's or bedroom toys.
Comfortable
There’s a perfect balance between softness and firmness. You can squish it, cuddle it, but you won’t sink in it. There’s a large smooth surface that provides enough space to position your hands without creating an ugly gap between the keyboard and wrist rest.Its natural temperature control ensures it won’t heat up during use nor become unpleasantly cold. It simply cools. The Cairo pattern and silicone's natural anti-slip bottom prevent any movement while in use.
Durable
Bend it, twist it, scratch it, the Wooting wrist rest will retain its flat shape. It doesn’t warp or curl over time. Silicone doesn't degrade, lasts a lifetime and can be safely recycled. You are assured to use this wrist rest for a long time.

Why do I need a gaming wrist rest?
If you’re a PC gamer, you spend most of your waking hours behind the PC. If it’s not for gaming, it’s for work or study. This means you’re actively using your mechanical keyboard for repetitive tasks, especially while gaming. There’s only so much your left hand can do during gaming. WASD, ASDF, ESDF, 1234.An abnormal amount of repetitive tasks coupled with bad posture and tensioned finger tendons can cause serious injuries. Commonly known as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).
You can guess what the number one injury is for Esport athletes.
By using the Wooting wrist rest you can relieve your finger tendons from additional tension. But using a wrist rest alone does not cure nor entirely prevent RSI or CTS. It’s a supporting tool and like many things in life, you need to change your bad posture/habits.
Will this fit with my [name] keyboard?
The Wooting wrist rest is exclusively made for mechanical keyboards. It's not recommended for membrane or few low-profile keyboards.The height profile of an extreme low-profile or membrane keyboard might be equal to or lower than the wrist rests' 20mm height.
We don't recommend placing your palms higher than your keyboard keys, this will potentially place more weight on your wrists and suffocate your carpal tunnel (the blood vessel and nerve tunnel to your hands).
What do all those silicone benefits mean?
Silicone is often used for kitchen utensils and food containers because it can ensure extreme temperatures, doesn’t contain or transfer chemicals, is easy to clean, durable and recyclable.BPA Free - Bisphenol A., is a synthetic compound found in many plastics and is under scrutiny for its negative health effects. BPA can leach into the skin during long-exposure.
Hygienic - Bacteria aren’t able to fest on the material and it’s easy to sterilize by wiping it clean.
Hypoallergenic - If you have sensitive skin, it’s unlikely to cause an allergic reaction or irritation.
